meeting. Mayor Meier so moved, it was <br />seconded and the motion carried unanimously. <br />PUBLIC COMMENTS None. <br />RAY BATA - LIQUOR It was determined that the application was in <br />LICENSE APPLICATION order. Meier moved and Fauson seconded that the <br />public hearing be set for February 5, 1985. <br />It was determined that this was a new license under <br />new ownership, not an additional license as it is <br />illegal under state law for one individual to <br />have two liquor licenses. Motion carried unani- <br />mously. <br />PROPOSED BUDGET Hundley discussed the memo concerning proposed <br />REDUCTIONS budget reductions for 1985 in the amount of <br />$271,170.00. In discussions, it was determined <br />that the additional police position would not be <br />filled until 1986. Services in Community Services <br />and public works departments were concerns of <br />council. Hundley maintained that, after lengthy <br />discussions with all department heads, that 1985 <br />service levels would not be reduced from 1984 <br />levels. <br />Hundley proposed that council authorize the <br />preparation of a resolution amending the 1985 <br />budget with this resolution showing proposed line <br />item budget reductions. Documents prepared <br />for discussion this evening described general <br />areas of cuts and their respective impacts. <br />Hundley pointed out the proposed reductions will <br />make up for the anticipated, yet unrealized, <br />carry over of 1984 funds, and the $62,000- <br />$87,000 anticipated short fall in 1984 revenues. <br />Hundley felt it would be prudent to <br />make cuts based o~n earlier figures showing a <br />greater deficit thus allowing more flexibility <br />in 1985 should problems arise. These figures <br />would also allow for the payback to the Tree Fund <br />in 1985. Fauson moved that Mayor and Council <br />consider a cutback in their salaries. The motion <br />was seconded a.nd discussions determined that <br />council felt their small wage was justified and the <br />cut would not affect the budget enough to warrant <br />approval of Fauson's proposal. It was also <br />determined that the council's wages are set by <br />ordinance and could not be increased nor decreased <br />within a councilperson's term of office. <br />2 <br />
